Hadley's Worcester Posy Vase
Shape 172
Hand painted and defined in teal.
Circa 1902-1906

By 1870, James Hadley had become chief modeller at Royal Worcester. In 1875 he set up a studio shop in Worcester High Street. Royal Worcester continued to sell his wares but cancelled the contract in 1895 due to a drop in demand. Hadley then started to build a factory in Diglis Road and produced his wares there.
In 1901 Royal Worcester tried to prevent Locke & Co. and Hadley and Sons Ltd. using the title 'Worcester' on their ceramics.
The case against Locke was taken to the High Court with the agreement that the finding would also apply to James Hadley.
In July 1902 the court ruled against Locke and Hadley agreed to clearly distinguish his goods from the goods of Royal Worcester. Hadley then began using a new mark with a ribbon enclosing the words, Worcester, England as seen on this posy vase. This backstamp ceased to be used circa 1906 when Royal Worcester bought Hadley's factory after his death.

Approximate dimensions: height 78.5mm, width 90mm, weight 98.5 grams.
There some surface marks associated with normal use and age.
In lovely condition with no cracks, chips or restoration.
